Beijing Summit Delivers Promises, Few Concrete Outcomes

Trump’s two-day Beijing summit with Xi Jinping yielded broad promises but few concrete commitments: the trade truce remains fragile, Taiwan arms-sales questions were not resolved, and there was no substantive progress on Iran or AI governance. Trump signaled he might revisit arms sales to Taiwan at Xi’s urging, while Xi offered no clear concessions, leaving the relationship managed but not solved and setting up additional talks later this year.
